Ella is a bright and loving little girl who recently came into care due to her mother’s mental health struggles and lack of consistent supervision. This is Ella, and her siblings' second time in care in their short little lives. She is one of nine siblings and cares deeply for her brothers and sisters. Ella loves music, school, and spending time with her friends. She has a natural helper’s heart and is always eager to lend a hand or make someone smile. Despite the challenges she has faced, Ella remains kind, social, and full of hope.

Ella would love a pretty dress to wear on Valentine’s Day. She enjoys feeling special and dressing up for school activities and celebrations. A new dress would help her feel confident, included, and excited to participate in the holiday with her friends. This wish would give Ella the chance to experience a joyful, normal childhood moment — picking out something she loves and feeling proud to wear it.
